freemangordonhmm, I added that hidden network from control panel, but it does not appear in the status menu list of networks00:05
Wizzupwell, wpa_supplicant won't list it as part of it's scan results00:05
Wizzupremind me, does a hidden network just not list it's ssid, or does it also not broadcast00:06
freemangordonactually, I think it does00:06
freemangordonjust not list ssid00:06
freemangordonIIUC00:06
freemangordonit lists it with empty ssid00:06
Wizzupif you type scan_results in 'wpa_cli', it the bssid shown?00:06
Wizzups/it the/is the/00:06
freemangordonno wpa_cli here00:07
freemangordonbut I dont; think wpa_supplicant is to blame00:07
uvosyes hidden ssids just dont list ssid they do broadcast00:08
Wizzupwell, it is possible that libicd-network-wpasupplicant doesn't do the right thing00:08
uvosits the most useless security feature eve00:08
uvosr00:08
freemangordonno, it is connui00:08
freemangordonbut I'll investigate tomorrow00:08
Wizzupis it aka 'privacy' ?00:09
freemangordonenough for today, good night00:09
Wizzupno, that's a WEP thing00:09
Wizzupok, gn00:09
Wizzupfreemangordon: so it looks like gconfmap.c in libicd-network-wpasupplicant doesn't handle wlan_hidden gconf keys yet00:10
Wizzupthis can be/become a problem when trying to connect00:10
freemangordonWizzup: but, before that, this network should be selectable in the list00:11
freemangordonit is not00:11
freemangordongn00:11
braborasengan took over a shitload of primary channels. i also got my first kline ever on freenode in over 15 years05:26
[TheBug]So nice of freenode to ban every channel with 'Libera' in their topic :facepalm:07:52
lightbringerindeed08:03
freemangordonbrabo: I had some popcorn reading through chanlogs where you (and some others) were 'discussing' on FN with current 'staff' :).08:03
freemangordonbut we're on the other side already, so...08:03
brabofreemangordon: oh well, i hope the logs were entertaining!08:06
braboand it is sad that freenode of all places turned into a dumpsterfire, but i like dumpsterfires, they can warm you :p08:06
braboi am honestly amazed, it took a shitload of effort to get klined08:07
braboi was first being nice about it08:07
brabothat didn't work..08:07
braboi just guess almost 2 weeks of asking things more or less nice and certain actions of the new clearly very competent staff got me to be more blunt..08:09
* enyc meows09:14
parazyduvos: Please give me a list of packages you want build permission for.09:15
parazydbrabo, freemangordon: They already killed off #maemo-leste on Freenode09:15
parazydIt's good that we moved09:15
enyco dear ;p09:28
enyc [Global Notice] In the recent policy enforcement, some channels were erroneously09:28
enychehe09:28
enyc          included. We greatly apologize for the inconvenience.09:28
braboparazyd: yes09:46
braboenyc: excuses after the fact do not make them seem any better, or any more competent than they seemed..09:46
braboif it was an isolated incidence, and they made it right (##hntop) then maybe09:47
brabobut they refused to make that one right so..09:47
enycbrabo: maybe so...  wondering in larger social-sense why all this mess/takeover has happened at all.....10:10
braboenyc: rasengan is just trying to save the users10:11
brabohonestly10:11
brabothe policy violations surely were done in good faith10:12
brabo/end sarcasm10:12
uvoscan we in additon to https://maedevu.maemo.org/irc.txt have something like https://maedevu.maemo.org/irc-this-weak.txt10:13
uvosto make irc.txt more usable10:13
uvosqpsrecorder, fbkeyboard, charge-mode, droid4-wlanconfig, ti-utils-wilink6, hildon-desktop-rotation-support, iio-sensor-proxy + salutem when you import it, are "my" packages that i currently have no access to.10:21
uvosi'd also take mce, libsdl1.2 and mbwm/h-d but i guess that needs more discussion.10:22
uvosparazyd: ^^^10:22
parazyduvos: ok, I have a meeting now so will try to look at it after.10:51
WizzupThe trick where you online the modem, then fill in the pin code, and then use the modem doesn't work if you want a data context - they don't show up this way11:03
Wizzupon the d4 that is11:04
Wizzupuvos: got gps lock in a moving train and it's keeping up nicely with 130km/h 11:24
uvosWizzup: the distance indicator or the fixed speed indicator or both?11:25
Wizzupuvos: the speed one11:30
WizzupI dindn't apt upgrade yet11:30
parazyduvos: Regarding irc.txt, there is https://libera.irclog.whitequark.org/maemo-leste/12:11
parazyduvos: Or do you want it in a .txt file? Do you parse it with something?12:11
uvoshttps://libera.irclog.whitequark.org/maemo-leste/2021-05-26 dosent work on mobile at all (ie on our devices) and pretty poor navigation, as you cant easly switch to today or to yesterday etc12:13
uvoshttps://freenode.logbot.info/maemo-leste/ was great but as its gohne now irc.txt wroks best on mobile12:13
uvosexecpet its to long12:13
parazydok I'll try to set something up12:14
uvossimply also logging to  another txt file with a cron job to delete every mon at 04:00 or something would suffice12:14
uvosfor me12:14
parazydYeah my thought as well12:14
parazydtest12:17
parazyduvos: https://maedevu.maemo.org/irc-this-week.txt12:17
uvostest12:19
uvosseams to work12:19
uvosthanks12:19
uvoswhen dose it roll over?12:19
parazydevery monday at 04:00 :p12:20
uvosGMT?12:20
uvosok :)12:20
parazydBST12:20
uvosok12:20
tmlindnice :)12:31
tmlindanybody got a script snippet handy to translate the log file dates to some tz time?12:33
tmlinddate?12:33
tmlinddate @1622025105 seems to do the trick12:34
parazydYeah that's it12:34
tmlindactually date -d @162202435112:37
sixwheeledbeastwould be locale time tho12:46
parazydIt's a universal timestamp12:47
parazyddate(1) will tell you the time in your timezone as you wish.12:47
sixwheeledbeastyer12:48
sixwheeledbeastdate --utc -d foo   would output UTC is what mean12:50
tmlindah right12:52
tmlindfreemangordon: didn't you check several years ago about what n900 modem is reading from the onenand, what was the conclusion?14:07
tmlindjust wondering how droid4 gets the modem configuration, sounds like bootloader gets it from the config partition or something like that14:08
Wizzuphmm, modem jumps frequently from one cellid to another, causing gprs to not be attached14:29
WizzupI have to re-activate the data connection every few minutes14:29
parazydFunny a similar thing happens to me on Android, when cellid changes, the usbnet route drops and I have to re-add it :D14:30
Wizzuphm, well, this is not usbnet14:30
WizzupI mean there's a few things to work on that will all make this easier14:31
Wizzupit's just that when gprs becomes not attached, ofono disables all contexts I think14:31
WizzupI suppose icd2 could keep trying or something14:31
Wizzuplike the n900 puts a red cross on the data for a bit14:31
parazyd*nod*14:32
Wizzuphibernate-ram seemed to work on the n90014:38
Wizzuper14:38
Wizzupd414:38
Wizzupwhen it woke up X crashed,but still14:38
WizzupI didn't expect it to go to sleep to be honest14:38
tmlinddo you mane suspend to ram? yeah that needs more work at least for the modem afaik14:52
tmlinds/mane/mean/14:52
joergwhat about chanlogs?15:17
joergooh I see whitequark fixed his stuff, so nevermind15:18
* asriel waves16:32
Wizzuphi!16:32
asrielwhat's up, just registered on libera and oftc, now currently waiting for matrix bridge :)16:33
asrielvery unfortunate about the freenode incident though16:33
Wizzupvery sad16:34
parazydThey took over our freenode channel btw.16:46
Wizzupyeah16:46
WizzupI'm in the 'community channel' reminding people to come here16:46
asrieli've heard of that yep, they basically took over any channels that mentions about "libera"16:47
asrielsurprisingly, not oftc16:47
Wizzupbrb ~30 mins16:47
parazydYeah because it's a personal ageneda16:47
parazyd*agenda16:47
freemangordontmlind: on ne900 modem has no access to onenand, so whatever config it needs is loaded by daemons16:51
freemangordonit is attached to SSI and a couple of gpios and that's it16:51
Armenhey... did freenode just hijack the old channel?16:52
freemangordonyes16:52
Armenwhat the heck16:52
asrielthey absolutely did because the channel topic has libera in it16:52
freemangordonbut we're here so no drama16:52
asrielone question, who runs the "community channel" now?16:52
parazydasriel: Prefer not to care. We're here now.16:54
ArmenI had heard about freenode hijacking channels that were migrating away, but I didn't quite believe it. What a way to push away the last of their user base16:54
Danct12asriel it's currently owned by a placeholder account but yeah, let's not care about it16:55
uvosparazyd: https://maedevu.maemo.org/irc-this-week.txt broke17:31
parazydApologies17:33
parazydShould be back17:33
Danct12will features from cssu like portrait mode be added to maemo leste?17:55
Danct12also i'd like to see battery percentage being a thing17:55
WizzupDanct12: yes, in general, we already have most cssu features17:55
WizzupThe battery percentage should be visible for calibrated batteries (depending on the device)17:56
WizzupAre you using a N900?17:56
Danct12yep17:56
WizzupSo the N900 does require a special calibration cycle for battery percentage17:56
WizzupAnd portrait mode specifically (and only) does not work on the Nokia N900, because rotating the screen with xrandr breaks the powervr X driver17:57
WizzupWe should probably fix that sometime soon :)17:57
Wizzuphttps://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900#Battery_calibration17:57
Danct12thanks, can i boot to fremantle after fully charged on leste? since i need the stock os18:01
Danct12would that affect calibration somehow?18:02
WizzupI am not sure to be honest, I'm inclined to say it probably won't matter for the calibration since that's in the chip18:02
Danct12hm, then i might just do that and let you know, thanks18:04
Danct12i'd like to retire this n900 when the pinephone keyboard comes out :)18:04
WizzupIt won't get as good battery life, but yeah18:05
WizzupI'm also looking forward to the keyboard18:06
parazydhttps://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+user%3Amaemo-leste-translations+archived%3Afalse+is%3Aclosed18:10
parazydLots of localization contributions btw.18:10
Danct12i might also sell the n900 too, since it looks worse and worse :P18:11
Danct12especially the flaky lock switch and the (yet to fail) microusb port18:11
WizzupDanct12: double pressing the power button does the same as lock18:13
diejuseYou might consider adding the ability to move through hildon desktop applications with the cursor keys. :)18:59
siceloditto, yes N900 battery calibration is maintained throughout OSes. Fremantle always shows percentage even if battery is not calibrated though19:15
freemangordonWizzup: does wpa icd2 module sends saved entries as a result in scan response?20:06
Wizzupfreemangordon: saved how?20:08
freemangordonin gconf20:08
WizzupI don't think it does, not if they're not visible20:08
freemangordonsee https://pastebin.com/FNTmUmZ320:09
freemangordonI wonder where afa5e7f9-ae1b-42e3-95ab-0f1d1d8d68e8 comes from20:09
freemangordonthis is saved hidden wlan20:09
Wizzupfreemangordon: well, it does match against known entries I think20:12
WizzupLet me look20:12
freemangordonWizzup: why this https://github.com/maemo-leste/libicd-network-wpasupplicant/blob/master/src/wlan.c#L49120:12
Wizzupfreemangordon: don't recall20:13
Wizzupfreemangordon: the ssid matching might be problematic to start with, for hidden wlan, no?20:16
freemangordonWizzup: seems you iterate saved iaps20:16
Wizzupfreemangordon: yes, to match against known ones20:17
Wizzupbecause in such a case we have to return the user picked name for the SSID20:17
freemangordonyes, but this does not work :)20:17
freemangordonthat's my issue20:17
Wizzupfor hidden wlan you mean?20:17
freemangordonyes20:17
freemangordonyou return uuid instead if the saved name20:17
freemangordon*of the20:18
freemangordonMay 26 20:46:01 localhost icd2 0.97[7577]: sending ICD_SCAN_NOTIFY nw  WLAN_INFRA/50000a1/afa5e7f9-ae1b-42e3-95ab-0f1d1d8d68e8 srv -/-/-20:18
Wizzupfreemangordon: I think the saved name matching should be fixed by not comparing ssid's but rather something else20:18
Wizzupalthough I don't think we save bssids, which likely also doesn't make sense20:18
Wizzupso I am not sure what we can match on for hidden wlan?20:18
freemangordonsomehow you match it20:18
WizzupI need to read up on this and figure out how this works again, I'm not giving particularly useful answers20:19
freemangordonif (strcmp(net->wlan_ssid, ssid) == 0)20:20
Wizzupyes, but how can the scan know the ssid of the hidden ap?20:20
Danct12does it take longer to charge on leste?20:21
Danct12or it's the same as fremantle20:21
WizzupDanct12: hmmmm, potentially on the n900 it might take longer, I don't remember if we allow speed charging20:21
freemangordonWizzup: no idea, but somehow it works20:21
freemangordonwill try the latest master, to see some logs from the module20:22
Wizzupfreemangordon: is this the last part of the puzzle?20:22
freemangordonnot sure20:22
WizzupIt might make sense to look at dbus and see what wpa_supplicant reports for your AP20:22
freemangordonbut the end result is that this saved hidden net results in an empty net added to the list20:22
Wizzupget_bss_info in src/wpaicd.c seems to suggest it's SSID in dbus20:22
freemangordonwhich can be clicked :)20:23
Wizzupfreemangordon: ah, does it connect?20:23
freemangordonno, because it doesn't know what to connect to (no name) I guess20:23
freemangordonbut lets first try to fix missing name20:23
Wizzupif you run icd2 in a shell you should see the module print to stderr20:24
Wizzuplook after     fprintf(stderr, "wlan_bring_up: %s\n", network_id);20:24
freemangordonbut you have a commit replacing printf fir ILOG20:25
freemangordon*for20:25
WizzupAh.20:26
Wizzupfreemangordon: then it should be in syslog, no?20:26
freemangordongoing to check20:26
freemangordonwhaat?20:27
freemangordonMay 26 21:25:18 localhost icd2 0.97[26497]: 'afa5e7f9-ae1b-42e3-95ab-0f1d1d8d68e8' type 'WLAN_INFRA' ICD_STATUS_CHANGED_SIG with status CONNECTED, '' sent to '(null)'20:27
Danct12anyway to calibrate the display also?20:27
WizzupDanct12: xinput_calibrate (or similar name)20:27
freemangordonhmm, it says so, but it is not really connected20:28
Wizzupbtw, that does not come libicd-network-wpasupplicant module20:28
Wizzupanything before that?20:28
freemangordontrying to ge some more sane logs20:32
freemangordon*get20:32
freemangordonWizzup: oh, false alarm20:34
freemangordonafa5e7f9-ae1b-42e3-95ab-0f1d1d8d68e8 is my router, nit the hidden wlan20:34
freemangordonsorry for the noise20:34
Wizzupnp20:36
freemangordonWizzup: any hint what to modify so scan to return no networks?20:43
Wizzupdo you mean no scan results?20:46
freemangordonhmm, if I delete dummy network, no empty network is added20:46
Wizzupodd20:47
freemangordonmhm20:47
Wizzupmaybe the dummy network interacts somehow with the hidden wlan20:49
Wizzupsince they both have no name (?)20:49
freemangordondummy net has a name20:52
siceloDanct12: put in 950 in sysfs - charge_current or something21:01
Wizzupfreemangordon: please file a bug for those problems if you want me to take a look21:45
freemangordonWizzup: sure21:54
* enyc meows22:04
* enyc notices no other news for a while but the funding news and irc channel move news!22:07
enyc"More concretely, in the scope of DAPSI, we will work on supporting various interfaces in the Telepathy framework: XMPP, GNU Jami, Matrix, and Signal messenger."22:07
freemangordonWizzup: my last commit is the reason for that empty net, I will fix it in a minute22:11
Wizzupack22:11
enyc..... does this mean somehow-or-other having a unified addressbook/contacts  across all the underpininng interfaces.22:13
enyctelepathy-signal  is an interesting concept,  I'm not sure how co-operative Signal  are / will be though22:14
enyc"not actively hostile"  but I understand their attitude has been basicalyl 'doing their own thing' in FOSS-code  and avoiding some classes of complexity that way...  Where Matrix work to have much wider spec and so-forth...122:16
inkyuvos, i think we need to work with you on integrating xmodmap as well.22:22
inkyi don't know if you should call it with system() or there is a function call you can use.22:22
inkyi guess there is a function call because setxkbmap uses it.22:23
inkyoh, god, i didn't mean xmodmap, i meant setxkbmap.22:23
uvosinky sure i would just use the xkb extension to set the map thats not the problem22:25
uvosi have not looked into the issue at all yet22:25
uvosbut mostly we have to find a map that is appropriate to the vkb we want to use22:25
uvosim not sure how to do this best22:25
uvoswe could either have a lut somewhere that tells us vkb input lang = this xkeymap22:26
uvosor the vkb could type untill it finds a utf char that it cant get a xkeycode for from x22:26
uvosand then switch the map or modify it if possible  to inlcude this char and then continue sending untill it encounters the next char it cant print22:27
uvosthe former would be easier22:27
uvosthe latter is mutch better22:27
uvoscurrently for instance on the us vkb layout it fails to print the EUR sign becuase the us xkb layout dosent include this22:28
uvoswe would likely runn into this issue all over the place with implementation 122:28
